Mt. Greylock Hill Climb Rollerski Race
November 6, 2022 All day
NENSA is excited to return to Mount Greylock, Massachusetts in collaboration with the Berkshire Nordic Ski Club for the second running of the Mt. Greylock Hill Climb.
Please note due to popular demand — there are multiple options with classic and freestyle options for all on either the 3 mile or 8 mile course. This awesome Hill Climb was a highlight of the 2021 Rollerski season with a banner day on the mountain.
This event will be the final event of the Allagash Brewing Masters Cup — scored by best two of three placements of the 2022 hill climbs in the NENSA Rollerski Race Series. ** Classic and freestyle techniques will be combined for overall rankings.**
The toll road will be closed to outside traffic during this event. All competitors must park at the bottom of the road or the Jone’s Nose lot. The organizing committee will provide van transportation from the summit back down to your cars. Team vans should contact [email protected] to procure a Vehicle Pass if you wish to support your team on the road.
Skiers must abide by the “yellow line” — always staying in the direction of travel in the right hand lane. Skiers who cross the center of the road may be removed from the competition. There is no downwards travel on the road — warmup must be conducted at the base of the road on skis or on foot.
The lodge at the bottom of the road will be open — including bathrooms.
